Ok, that explains why it was difficult to reconcile in the webrev.

I now see that “best-effort” is not implemented on unix platforms, but rather 
fail-fast ( an exception is thrown if the option cannot be set ). Let’s just 
remove this now superfluous native code as it is confusing.

Since this issue is orthogonal to the JEP, I filed the following issue to track 
it:
  https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8241988
